1K List Review/Help - New Guard Player

Hello! I've played a good bit of Admech and am on my way to building up a guard force. I'm looking for any advice you veteran guardsmen may have on the list copied below.

So far I've got a Chimera, a Cadian Command Squad, and (most of) a Leman Russ painted up and ready to go, plus 10 primed Cadians. So I'd really like to keep those units in my list.

I've got unbuilt boxes of both Cadian combat patrols, a basilisk, and the new Armageddon box. But am willing to get some new stuff if needed. Thanks!

^(Hello! I'm looking for a bit of advice on expanding to 2000 points. I've played a few games at 1000, and am looking to expand to be able to play a full game at 2000.)

^(The turn 1 deep strike with a unit of DWK's and the Lion seems super fun.)

^(What I'm on the fence about is the leader for the ICC's, and Sternguards vs Hellblasters for Azreal to lead.)

^(Any advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance!)
